Well I am always hoping dearly for a competent gunner, even if my pilot skills are gravely questionable. My main interest in the game is as a flight sim. Must gunners are just catching an Uber to a flag and I can't blame'em for going for the objective while I'm flying around looking for pedestrians to bomb.

I feel like the game has gone a little too long before the first DLC. That, and AssMan is on vacay in Japan at the moment, and I play with him and a few other guys every night in Vent, but I am only hitting a few games a night now rather than a few hours, at least until that first DLC. None of those Vent dudes are gunners; all either dirt grovelers or vehicle (read: artillery truck) stat padders. Real nice guys though and very talented.

It would be great if you could join us in Vent--if you like that kind of thing--and squad up with us.

E said he hit a few rounds, so he must have bought it, because he's no stealer. Maybe he'll join us in Vent someday, too.

I think it might just be a 24 hour thing for new reg's, but I'll drop it by Deftone who is usually less intoxicated than I am and more able to read forum pages.

I typically hop the Attack Plane. There have been spells where I Bombed; but if I go Bomber now I'm bugged that I can't engage other planes in dogfights with my own guns. I like that Bombers can take a lot more heat, though. Looks like I have about 500 AP kills and 50 Bomber, all as pilot, so yeah. My production ain't high on anything, but I like being up there. I've heard the fighter got buffed a bit, but during the Beta it was pretty weak so I haven't tried it.

Yeah, I very rarely use anything but bomber unless there is an airship on the map. If you have good gunners, you can go on massive killstreaks. If shit gunners, you're going down after a couple of bomb runs.

LOL, OMG. You nailed it. That reminds me of so many surf trips to Baja.... lighting those suckers in the Coke bottle buried in the sand and running backward, stumbling through the sand, drunk on tequila, towards the ring of people around the bonfire...
